In an article published in "The Indian Express" on June 24, 2025, Dipanita Nath highlights "Waypoint", Farbod Elkaei’s first solo exhibition in India, currently on view at VHC. The piece features excerpts from an email conversation with the artist, discussing the timing of the show — unfolding alongside the ongoing Iran-Israel war — and offering a window into Elkaei’s wider artistic journey.
Temporarily based in northern Iran and surrounded by nature — which he describes as a constant presence in his life and deeply woven into his practice — Elkaei reflects on a range of inspirations: personal and internal journeys, Iranian poetry, architecture, miniature painting, and the political atmosphere of his home country. He describes the body of work on view at VHC as a moment of pause and introspection in his evolving artistic path.
